A Remarkable oratorical Effort.
Hartford Curant.

CuIdAts
 One of Abraham Lincoln's most re- markable oratorical efforts was a speech in his protracted debate with Stephen A. Douglas. The lines were being drawn more closely in the fight against the extension of slavery. Douglas had secured the repeal of the Missouri compromise and had taken his stand on his invention of the doc Urine of squatter sovereignty. But Douglas himself saw he could not go to all lengths without alienating his northern support; he began to feel that the south did not altogether trust him, and those were days when it was doubtful which side Douglas would take in the great conflict. He was to make his opening speech in Chicago and great interest was felt in his dec laration. He made it at night from balcony of the Fremont house to an immence throng. In it he announced again the right of the people of ter ritory to establish or prohibit slavery; as for himselfhe did not care whether slavery was voted up or down, and he gave new rendering to the Dpclara- tion of Independence. The makers of it, he said, in effect, never intended it to include all men as born equal, but what they meant was that all white men on the continent are created equal. It was bold and powerful speech, and it threw down the gaunt- let in the senatorial contest.
 Lincoln heard it from balcony above the one occupied by Douglas, and doubtless he saw that his hour and opportunity had come. He was urged by the Republicans to reply to the speech at the same place the next even- ing. The time was short, but the man was ready. The street in front of the Fremont house and those leading in- to it were again packed to a distance as far as Lincoln's penetrating voice could be heard. Those who heard him will never forget the ungainly figure dimly seen on the balcony, nor the profound sadness and solemnity of his opening remarks. There were no cam paign stories, there was nothing to amuse the populace. The orator rose at once to the great height of the moral debate. In the glowing speech, logic, facts, sarcasm, sentiment were all fused in a flow of almost inspired eloquence and prophecy. With per feet courtesy to his opponent, my friend, Judge Douglas" he exposed his fallaeies, demolished his ingenious subterfuges, broke the frame of his sophistries with sledge hammer. and warned the nation of the moral tlegra- dation of his doctrines. After re- beating the phrases of the speech of Douglas that he did not care whether slavery were voted up or voted down, and that the Declaration of lndepend- ence was ony a declaration for white men, he strengthened up his tall form and extending his hands, said in voice that reached to the remotest listener, Why, gentlemen, they are blowing out all the great moral lights around usw Something like fear fell upon that vast crowd, and a visible darkness seemed to descend and envelop all it was as if the voice of a Hebrew prophet foretold the falling of a moral darkness upon the republic. Never, perhaps, in American oratory, was a single sentence so effective.

DEAD LEAVES.
MY WANDA cRoKER.

l prayed for the glorious beauty Of morning sunshine sweet To brighten up dull duty And fall about my feet. But ere the sunlight golden Its mission could began, Across the hill, all golden, The dead leaves drifted in. l planted rare, sweet roses In April's soft bright air, And sad, when June disclOsea Their bud and blossom far, I'll rest my eyes on fragrant And beaute0us borders gay, Alas! a wand'ring vagrant Supplanted me in a day l heaped in iron coflers Gold under lock and key, And thought the ease it offers And comforts are for me, But while saved, a-weary, To add to boarded wealth, l woke one morning dreary To find it flown by stealth. My soul grew sad with burden, l took for life a friend, And said this golden guerdOn, This love can never end, A form crept in; know not If it were fate or sin; -lut naught-is left, l trow not But dead leaves drifting in.

Will the Liquor Dealers Accept the
 SubStitute2

It has become a serious question with the American people as to whether the whole race must become extinct through the abuse of stimu- lants and tonies. Since machinery does the hardest physical labor, al- most all industries have taken the form of brain or nerve wear, and the above are used to sustain its everlasting until physical ruin is known to be just ahead. Just now there is great ilutter over the dis covery of a nerve food called Moxie, which takes the place of them all, and the doctors say it really does do it, and restores the old-time vigor. It rectifies the drunkards' habits, too. Will the liquor dealers sell it?

Your verdict will be there is no other remedy like this.

THE BASEBALL SITUATION.
1t Is Necessary that the BUSINESS Men Should
Come to the Front with Money.

The directors of the baseball association held
a meeting at the Bates House last evening and
after canvassing the situation carefully decided
not to 60 into an election of officers until the
5000 needed is secured and the bringing OF
the club here is made a certainty. It was agreed
that in order to make the club success the
sc, 900 balance must be raised. There was no
hesitancy among the directors in stating that
unless relief comes soon the club will have to 60
to some other city
twas decided to call public mass meeting
at the rooms of the Board Of Trade for Thurs
day evening at 7:30 o'clock. The situation Will
then be fully and impartlally stated, and if the
necessary amount is not subscribed the gentle
men who have done all in their power to bring
the club here will drop the matter In the
meantime, the canvassng committee will con-
tinue their work, and it is hoped that they may
be able to come forward with the full amount
raised. The directors want the business men to
come out to the meeting, and avoid a failure on
the part Of the city to support the club. Inc
other cities OF the country are already boasfing
that there is not enough capital in indianapolis
| to support a club, and have from the first pre-
dicted financial wreck before the
season opened. If the bushes of the
| city have any self-pride they should
| not fail to come out to the meeting. The direct
ors have arranged dates with Cincinnati, St
Louis and Louisville for games here and in those
cities from the 1st to the 18th Of April. Offers
OF games from Memphis, Tenn; Syracuse, N.
Y; Kalamazoo Mich; Trenton, N. j.. and
Evansville have been received. The players
| have all been heard from and are anxious TO sign.
| but this cannot be done until the money is paid
| over to the League and the association is lncor
| porated and fully admitted to the League.
